Do you or anyone you know provide....
I have a 3 month old and a 4 year old.
I know there are soo many day care providers looking for kids, I am wondering if you or anyone you know take kids for the day not on a perm. full time or part time basis. If I wanted to go somewhere by myself for the day or had appointments...can I drop them off for the day and pay the day or hourly rate?
I don't know anyone or have family close by so I am essentially it....

Hi, I have room on Fridays only if you would like to schedule your appointments on that day, but as another poster mentioned you didn't specify a location. I'm near downtown and would be happy to provide you with further information if you are interested.

I think you could definitely find people willing to do 'flex care' .... if you are able to book your needs in advance and be flex in return cause often providers who do this are trying to manage it with several families and somene else might beat you to a day you want 
You could post an ad in the classifieds 'looking for' with more details and providers looking for spaces to fill often search there everyday but do not necessarily have time to look on the forums

I know the home day care that my son goes to is great. She's been advertising on Kijiji for the odd care, especially with March Break coming up. She's in Old East, not sure where your located or where your looking for? I could talk to her and see if she'd be interested and what she would charge for the odd day or a few hours?
